INTERESTING WAY OF LOOKING AT IT
by Brian Baldwin on Mar.07, 2010, under animation, vimeo
Not quite sure what to think of this animated short, other than it’s quite creepy. There is just something unsettling about dolls in an unsupervised toy store… Great animation though, and I love the payoff!
If only we were all so skilled

Man, I’ve spent 26 years of my life looking for that golden ticket to wealth. Turns out I’ve found it!
AIRBRUSHING FOR FUN AND PROFIT from Future Schlock on Vimeo.
My favorite part of this piece is either the starburst montage at the end, or the fact that he has a dollar sign light stencil for the enhanced backdrop. I also love how it’s just a regular-ass white dude airbrushing things like “Bigg Dogg”! haha, I’d love to see this guys business plan. I mean, he’s talking about profit margins and he has a few different price points, so I’m sure he’s thought it through.
Objective: Sell as many airbrushed can coolers, visors, nail file-looking thingies, and faux license plate covers ranging from low-end dollar stores (for the $4.99 model) to higher-end retailers such as Value Village and Super Store (for the $9.99 model).
But hey, who am I to knock it? Props to this guy for taking his hobby to the next level.
Crazy 3D Porsche Ad

Going back to my roots, I thought I’d post some work of a somewhat local artist. I’m always surprised to see all the great work that comes out of Portland, and from rather unsuspecting fellows too. Take the two guys I used to work with at Nike for example (Marshall and Russell you know who you are). Meet them on the street: what’s up, regular ass dudes with no tats and who wear normal fitting jeans and t-shirts. Meet them in the lab and they’re turning out some of the sickest motion graphics and 3D work I’ve ever seen. Anyway, back to this guy…
This piece was just too good to pass up. I personally have never used Lightwave, but this is about as good as I’ve even seen. And forget the tech mumbo jumbo, this is a pretty bad ass Porsche commercial too! It’s ads like this that I watch and think, “This is real sick, probably cost a fortune, but where does it end up?..”
I’ve kinda been all over the place with this post, so I’ll go ahead and shut it down. Check out Stephen Fitzgerald’s Vimeo page and keep checking back for more blogs on motion graphics, video production and editing.
Minus the French, this is pretty cool

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a fellow motion graphic designers work on my blog, so consider this my comeback…
This dude, Max, has some pretty tuned in mo graph skittles. Most of his pieces are pretty short, but still really well done. I love the mix of live action and animation, so it seemed fitting to post this video.
